    No recuerdo un juego que me enganchara tantísimo. Esa variedad de escenarios, cantidad de jefes ( tanto opcionales como obligatorios) nivel artístico…
    Llevo unas 127 horas y he conseguido el platino y seguramente siga explorando el mundo y empezaré una partida + para seguir disfrutando de este juego. Totalmente recomendable

    Anyone giving this game a bad review is a filthy casual unworthy of it's glory. This game is not for everyone, but for those that have willpower and an appreciation for art. Easily one of the best games I've played.

    It’s a 10 and straight up at a minimum an 8. This game is colossal. Fantastic combat options and rewarding exploration. It can be tough and your heart will pound during encounters.

Graphics are great. Not outstanding but is that really negative? Everything seems polished and stylized it’s fantastic to gander at. There ARE slightly common frame drops in the open world though. Does that actually mean it deserves a 9? Or an 8? Does a couple frame drops really give a game a review bomb of zero? Seems a little steep for such a minor inconvenience. I have fun playing the game! I enjoy it. I love it. And I hope you do too. Thank you FromSoft!… Expand

Es un juego que hace que las horas se pasen rápido y necesites más tiempo para seguir descubriendo cosas nuevas. Su apartado sonoro crea una inmersión con el entorno agregando ese toque épico en cada escenario o batalla contra los jefes finales. El diseño de personajes tiene ese toque Lovecrafquiano que te hace sentir verdadero terror el solo hecho que tendrás que enfrentarte a ese enemigo horrible e intimidante.

Quedando mucho contenido opcional que probar, y casi llegando al 70% de los trofeos obtenidos, quisiera destacar en primera instancia su extenso mapa, cantidad de enemigos (jefes y no jefes), y variedad de contenido; mazmorras, castillos, bosques, llanuras, lagos, costa, todo lo que sea posible de imaginar en un juego de estas características. Su diseño artístico es magnifico, y si bien el motor gráfico se nota ya algo desfasado a los tiempos que corren, no quita el espectáculo visual que implica posicionarse en lo alto de ciertas zonas para ver a lo lejos castillos, montañas, y sobre todo ese majestuoso árbol que cubre el total de las tierras intermedias. A nivel de jugabilidad no hay mucho que decir: es Dark Souls en su punto más alto, agregando accesibilidad opcional para quien lo necesita (cenizas de guerra y cenizas, áreas para invocar NPCs o jugadores online, y posibilidad de farmear experiencia recorriendo el mundo que se ofrece). Los jefes principales y secundarios ofrecen combates memorables, algunos un tanto injustos por sus mecánicas, pero al fin y al cabo un desafío posible de abordar con tiempo y paciencia. El juego es una celebración a la historia de los juegos de Fromsoftware, con referencias constantes a la Saga Souls, Sekiro y Bloodborne. Por último, quisiese destacar su narrativa, que en muchas reseñas ha sido menospreciada, pero que me parece de una factura notable. Muchos no notaron la influencia de George R. R. Martin en la construcción del mundo, pero al igual que en todo Souls deben ahondar más para encontrar lo que se quiere contar: traiciones, disputas familiares, y la sed de poder por quedarse con el trono son sólo algunos de los aspectos que se intentan narrar en esta épica de fantasía oscura (de hecho, no me sorprendería ver una precuela en formato videojuego o serie/película). Para quienes deseen disfrutar este aspecto, y realmente le importe la narrativa del juego, les aconsejo intentar relacionar a los distintos personajes, jefes, y semidioses del juego entre sí. En resumen, probablemente el juego del año, que me dejó muy satisfecho y con una angustia luego de haber completado el contenido principal y parte del opcional.… Expand

    Pros :

    - deep fun and varied combat system. so many builds weapons and spells to choose from.
    - interesting Lore and Characters.
    - Impressive World Building and design.
    - the Graphics design of the enemies and locations you see surpasses "better looking tech wise" games, the art design just carries it. it looks AMAZING.
    - Story is good although its kind of hidden away in items and "make your own conclusions" but that is part of its charm.
    - Animations of enemies etc are phenomenal.
    - Voice Acting are some of the best in the industry.
    - Soundtrack is again a masterpiece.
    - Open world that rewards exploration.
    - extremely vertical and layered open world.

    Elden Ring is simply a game that the player naturally adapts to their own style of play. Challenging at times, vicious at others, but mostly incredibly fun. The enjoyable pace makes the hours of play pass by like water, and each path opens up a few more, only to come together again after a fair amount of exploration before the next big reveal.

    Elden Ring serves as a testament to open world video game design. There is a true sense of accomplishment once that rock-hard enemy has been slain and, something that compels a player to relentlessly do it over and over again until they succeed is truly rewarding. The world is humongous and an epitome of how exploration should be encouraged, by intriguing players to see what is over the hill. Elden Ring is an unmissable, must-play, gaming experience with surprises galore.

    Elden Ring's engaging combat, mythology and dynamite orchestral soundtrack goes a long way to overshadow an aggressive open world that punishes exploration from the beaten path. Fans of the Souls genre are in for a treat, while newcomers will need to persist to reap the benefits.
